Hard Candy director David Slade takes the helm for this adaptation of Steve Niles' terrifying comic book series of the same name. In Barrow, Alaska, one night can last an eternity. One month every year, this town is plunged into darkness for thirty days due to its location on the far north of the Arctic Circle. While extended periods of darkness are something that the locals have become accustomed to, this year something sinister is about to emerge from the long and unforgiving night. As a maniacal horde of vampires assume control of the city streets and commence to freely feasting on the terrified citizens, the local sheriffs - a husband and wife team (Josh Hartnett and Melissa George) - will be forced to choose between saving themselves or helping the members of their community survive the blood-soaked siege. Original comic creator Niles collaborates with screenwriters Stuart Beattie and Brian Nelson to pen a film produced under Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures banner.
